Powerful floral, filling up all the free space around you. I would consider it as an aristocratic fragrance. For confident women, not for young girls (though i fell in love with it when i was a teenager). Full of tuberose, hyacinth and lily of the valley.

First i didn't think this would stay with me, but as i am finishing the bottle i am seriously thinking i should buy me another one. Girls, if you like strong, "devoted" perfumes as Loulou, for example, you will surely like this one:)

once,I had tested "Carolina" perfume and I felt liking it.today when I tried it again,I was really confused that it wasn't the same smelling I had in my memory.not that I'm checking it in the site I realize I expected this one to be "Carolina",not "Carolina Herrera".
by the way this is a pure floral fragrance which is full of ingredients of every single classic perfume.it's riched with narcissus,lily of the valley and tuberose.
even the first notes are sweet and floral and as the times passes it becomes more and more floral.
I don't consider this one a perfume with personality and it's not the best work by CH.but it's the only real classic one.it would be wearable for old fashioned ladies who are older than 40.

I admit that this is my favorite nº1 in the 90's.. oh my, what a scent was!!
Not now but i started to use this in Spain in 1990 and it was the star scent and everybody say typical "wich parfum you use, i want it, i love it"
Serious i lived that in that years.
But now i prefer Alien..., but i´m looking for one better, anybody knows?

Wanted this for so, so long. I was sure I'd love it - but now that I have it .... I just can't wear it! Even just smelling it straight from the bottle nauseates me terribly. Ugh! Perhaps my bottle has gone off as I honestly can't find anything nice about this one.

I'm so mixed about this scent. I love the middle notes, but eventually the strength of the perfume gives me a headache.
I really smell fruity floral notes on this perfume, but according to this site there aren't a lot of fruity notes in this perfume.

well, it is very floral and it is very overwhelming, but only in the beginning, later on it softens and becoms powdery and warm, but not heavy and its staying power is extremely long. It is multilayered and appropriate for cold weather, not at all for summer. Yes, it doess seem a bit more for elder women, but why? Younger women, in their early thirties can also wear it, if they have what it takes to wear such a great and powerful scent. For real women only

I feel a lots of warm, delicious jasmine.Almost a mono fragrance at first! I actually think it is very good, gives good credit to this special flower.It is a bit strong even for me, but the dry down is so good it`s worth waiting.

I believe Carolina Herrera wears (or wore) Fracas, and this is her homage to that great fragrance. I like both this and Fracas - Carolina Herrera is perhaps a little more feminine, Fracas a little more classical.

In my country was a success at 90's ... But to me, its overwhelming. I wasn't able to wear this, when i was 14 years old :)
However, its elegant, and any women loves it... (emphasis: women, not men)
Could be suitable to protocolar events, with formal clothes and pearls maybe... or to be noticed wherever you are ;)
Jasmine, tuberose, ylang-ylang, hyacinth, muskkkkkk¡¡¡, civet, cedar, amber, sandal: all in the same intensity... that you can smell at one blow!... .....Is impossible don't be noticed whit this perfume...
After a while its fruity-sour/jasmine-tuberose-woody
I'ts better at nights... more volatile, and a bit more flowery. In my opinion its a classic and elegant combination of jasmine and tuberose

This is indeed a very fruity, very flowery perfume, a powerhouse 80's scent, warm and lush. Judjing from all the reviews so far, it is a fragrance which seems to conjur up very diverse and often quite negative reactions.
What I like about it is its simplicity- it's not a complicated tune, but rather a melody sung by an unisono-choir, it's not refined, a bit trashy and I find it fascinating enough to wear it when I'm in the mood for something loud. But as with most American perfumes - I have to go easy on the spray - a little can say more than enough.

very strong and overwhelmingly powerful; a little too much for my tastes. Love the elegant bottle though!

The notes to this are very simple: Jasmine, Tuberose, Sandal, Amber. But the fragrance itself is definitely not one dimensional. I mostly smell the Sandal and Amber dominating the Tuberose! Where is the Tuberose? This is a pretty musky, mature, complex scent. Overall for the older age group i should think... The lasting power is great! there is something glorious about this one.

I found this to smell like something my grandmother would wear... very overpowering and not at all what I expected.. I too think power 80's and soapy or bathbeadish... very disappointing.

Extremely obnoxious floral, one of the most obnoxious perfumes I've smelled. I sprayed it on myself and wanted to fall over. This stuff will punch you in the nose. I honestly wouldn't enjoy even smelling it on someone else. At first it started out nice and soft, but the dry down is a heaving amount of florals and green. I've never met a perfume that started out soft but dried down even stronger than was first sprayed! Ugh. I mainly smell white flowers and nothing else from this. All you need from this is one spray, or half a spray. It's strong - and will probably attract bees :)

My mother bought me this perfume in the 90's. TOO STRONG for me. I don't like perfumes that have this "bath bead" smell. Perhaps it's the ylang-ylang, or maybe tuberose? Lily of the Valley, hyacinth? Or gardenia? Or the combination of all these heavy florals. But it's that same weird smell I get from ALL the perfumes I see for sale at Renaissance Fairs. It's like they all use the same base note or something. And that's the predominant smell of this perfume, and I just can't stand it!
03/20/08 17:41:25
This is nice, strong floral (an 80's type), classy and feminine fragrance. Suitable for most occasions, you can hardly go wrong with this one. Not chemical at all, and that's what I like about it. But it is also type I get bored of quickly.
